  1. Maurice Greenberg -- Spitzers
    Mr. Greenberg's verbal jousting only added to the tension with Mr. Spitzer, coming not long after a high-profile squabble over a public relations campaign aimed at undermining his hard-charging campaign against the insurance industry. Last fall, Mark French, a managing director at a Washington agency that represents public speakers, Leading Authorities, sent out an e-mail message searching for ''key people'' to speak out against Mr. Spitzer. The message offered up to $25,000 in exchange for consulting work.

  3. Family Farms -- Farm Aid
    Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid raises awareness about the critical role of family farms and has raised more than $29 million to build and strengthen family farm food production. Between 1985 and 2005, 80 percent of Farm Aid's total expenditures were spent on programs to benefit family farmers, exceeding charity watchdog standards. Through public education, program activities and grants, Farm Aid promotes food from family farms and sustainable agriculture, fights factory farms, advocates for fair farm prices and provides disaster assistance and credit counseling to farm families.
  4. The Upstate -- State
    The musical battering ram called THE UPSTATE is comprised of 4 ridiculously attractive members. Seasonally based in a little seaside state named Rhode Island but strangely enough 2/4 of the band hails from Massachusetts. They has been called the most charming cavalier band in all existence, not to mention it’s been rumored they have a wide variety of super powers. Founded in a small, poorly furnished dorm room during the last days of a spring semester in 2006 it wasn’t superhero powers that got them a steadily increasing fan base and a growing roster of outrageously catchy original songs.
  5. New York Post -- Manhattan Tuesday
    New York: New York has long had its Little Italy, Chinatown, Spanish Harlem. Now it ... has a Little Australia. The neighbourhood in lower Manhattan is home to a community of Australian expats who have started businesses and carved out a life thousands
  6. New York Stock Exchange -- United States

Spitzer’s investigations of conflicts of interest on Wall Street have been the catalyst for dramatic reform in the nation’s financial services industry. His prosecutions of sophisticated white collar crimes have resulted in some of the nation’s largest fraud recoveries. Spitzer brings considerable experience to the office. He was a clerk to US District Court Judge Robert W. Sweet; an associate at Paul Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton, and Garrison; and Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan from 1986-1992.

  7. Yahoo Chat Rooms -- Children
    This may seem unfair to all the teenagers who feel they are old enough to use these chat rooms, but this is taking a big risk. Many predators lurk in these rooms and younger children may be tricked into communicating with these individuals. Parents need to protect their children and make sure they are not chatting on yahoo if they are under eighteen. Also, Yahoo!'s chat room user agreement now states that all chat room participants must be over the age of 18. There are other options for children under the age of 18, such as creating a Facebook account. On Facebook, young people can connect with friends and make new friends in a safer environment.
  8. Sanford Weill -- Jack Grubman
    In a society where the value of labor was truly respected, the actions of Jack Grubman and Sanford Weill would be more than just another facet of a business cycle. Their actions do speak of a rot that pervades Wall Street, but they ... speak of a huge gap between what ordinary citizens can even dream of doing and what the members of the American overclass can do without even straining themselves. And American labor is often so cowed by the power of big business and the governments that they effectively control that it dare not speak too loudly. Perhaps there is hope yet for labor; perhaps the overclass has finally gone too far. Let the overclass tremble at a revolution. Will the preschool workers realize that they have little to lose and a world to win?
